At five o'clock in the evening, Zach drove the truck to the ranch on time.
Naoki was planting the last fruit tree sapling into the soil with Guluton and Motor Lizard. As soon as he finished watering it, he heard Zach's majestic voice coming from behind.
"You did all this? Too fast, right? It's only been less than a day?!" Zack was stunned when he looked at the brand new pasture.
The farmland originally occupied by weeds and trees has become neat and clean. The pieces of land are square and arranged in an orderly manner. The land above is slightly damp, as if it has just been watered.
Naoki turned around, smiled and said to Zach, "Thanks to them."
As he spoke, he turned sideways, revealing Gulton and Motorized Lizard next to him.
Zach was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw that in addition to the Motorized Lizard he had seen yesterday, there was another Pokémon beside Naoki at some point.
A Pokémon he had never seen before.
Tall body, strong body, muscular limbs and body, thick and powerful tail...
"Who is that big guy?!" Zach opened his eyes wide again.
He swore that he had never seen such a Pokémon in the Padia region!
As a truck driver who traveled all over the country to transport goods, Zach visited various places and saw countless Pokémon in his early years.
He knows everything about the Pokémon that live in the Padia region.
Although he is not a trainer, if he encounters a trainer who has come out of the Orange Academy while transporting goods, he will not be able to help but have an exciting Pokémon battle with him.
But...he has never heard of such a Pokémon.
Seeing Zach's reaction, Naoki was not surprised, because at this time, no one except Dr. Olin had seen Gullerton at all.
After thinking for a moment, he did not say Gulton's name, but said truthfully: "I don't know where it came from. It appeared in the pasture last night and was injured. Motorized Lizard and I rescued it."
It, in order to thank us, it stayed in the pasture to help with the work."
"I see..." Zack murmured and nodded, looking at the strange Pokémon's expression, he added: "It seems to like you very much! Since you can meet it, it means you two are destined."<
/p>
The question in his mind was answered, and Zach didn't say much. Instead, he turned to look at the shipping box and asked: "Did you find any wild products like black truffles today?"
"No, but I caught some fish."
With that said, Naoki came to the eaves, picked up the iron bucket filled with fish and put it in front of Zach.
Zach squatted down and looked into the bucket. After seeing the scene clearly, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Huh? So many?!"
As a novice rancher, isn’t this guy’s fishing skills too superb?
"Let me see..." Zach released his Pokémon, an old builder, and directed it to move the glass fish tank specially used for fish from the truck.
"Bass, carp, catfish, herring... Wow! There are also two rainbow trout! These are rare fish that are difficult to catch! Your fishing skills are too good, right?"
Zach looked impressed. He stood up and gave a thumbs up, "Awesome!"
In response, Naoki showed an awkward yet polite smile.
Zach took out his account book and started doing the calculations on it.
"The cost of a bass is 300 alliance coins, the carp is 120... the rainbow trout is 1200, well, the total is 3680 alliance coins."
After completing the calculation, Zach put away the ledger, took out his wallet and started to check out, "It's really good, I hope I can get something like this again tomorrow!"
Sure enough, no matter which world you are in, fishing is the main source of income in the early stage... Naoki thought to himself as he took the money.
After receiving the goods, Zach turned to leave. He had to go to other pastures and farms to collect goods, and then he had to deliver the goods to Zhiqin Market and other surrounding cities overnight.
But suddenly, Zach remembered something again.
He stopped, turned around and asked, "By the way, have you decided what to name this ranch?"
Name?
Naoki was stunned.
Zach grinned and said: "A good name will also become the signature of the ranch and let more people know it! When the time comes, the town will also hold a harvest season, and nearby ranches will participate to compete with each other to see who grows the best crops.
Best of all, the winning ranch will also receive a mysterious grand prize from the town!"
Naoki understood.
To be honest, he hasn't decided what to call the ranch yet.
However, he has always been very decisive in this regard.
Therefore, after only thinking for a few seconds, Zhi Shu came up with a name: "Let's call it Zhi Shu Ranch!"
It’s simple, easy to remember, and not too fancy.
"Name it after you? Yes! Then it will be called Zhishu Ranch!" Zach smiled: "I am looking forward to the day when this name spreads throughout Padia!"
Naoki: "..."
Zach left.
Naoki watched him go away, then turned to look at the brand new grid farmland in front of him.
After returning from the back mountain, he saw that the soil had almost recovered, so he took Guluton and Motorized Lizard to plant all the crop seeds he bought.
There are many types of seeds, and Zhishu doesn't like messy ones, so before planting, he specially divided the fields into different areas according to classification.
Potatoes, turnips, garlic, spring wheat, strawberries, cabbage, cucumbers, radishes, tomatoes.
In addition, he also bought several fruit seedlings before.
For example, orange fruits, peach fruits, cherry fruits, lemon fruits.
These saplings occupy a separate piece of land, and that piece of land is ready to be turned into a special tree orchard.
Ordinary tree fruits in this world are sold very cheaply. Fruits like orange fruits only cost 20 alliance coins each.
Therefore, Naoki does not plan to make money from them, but plans to save them to make fruit cakes, fruit yogurt, fruit pies and other snacks for Motor Lizard and Guluton to eat.
After working for several hours, Naoki felt exhausted.
But looking at the neat fields in front of him, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction in his heart.

"Well, there are a lot of seeds planted for the first time."
Zhi Shu was worried that he would make a mistake, so after thinking for a while, he prepared to make several wooden signs to insert in the soil and write the types of crops on them to distinguish different plots.
He had seen a saw for cutting wood in the utility room at the back.
But today is a bit late, so Naoki is going to leave it until tomorrow.
Stretching, Naoki relaxed. He took off his muddy rubber shoes, washed his face at the faucet, and put on light sandals.
As soon as I turned around, I saw Guluton and the Motorized Lizard who were all dirty, with mud on their feet and tail.
"..."
Naoki sighed helplessly and said to the two of them: "Stand still, I'll give you a shower!"
The two Pokémon immediately stood obediently.
Zhi Shu picked up the water pipe and helped them rinse their bodies. When all the mud was washed away, the two big guys shook off the water drops on their bodies in neat movements.
Naoki was thrown around and suddenly felt that they looked like two big dogs.
With this weird thought in mind, he turned back to the house, took out a towel, wiped the bodies of Gullton and Motor Lizard, and then drove them into the house.
The floor of the wooden house was mopped clean by Naoki, without a trace of dust. In order not to stain the floor, he would change his shoes when he went in and out.
At this time, the night was already dark.
Gu Luton and Motor Lizard were lying lazily on the floor.
The Motorized Lizard couldn't stop yawning.
Therefore, Luton looked at his past self with some disgust.
The room was lit with warm lights. Naoki was wearing house slippers and standing in front of the stove to prepare dinner for them.
Well, what should we eat tonight?
Naoki originally wanted to cook something new, but after a busy day he was exhausted and finally decided to be lazy.
Simply fry a steak, take out the sliced toast and lettuce and ham, and put them together to form a nutritionally balanced sandwich.
"Eat!"
Naoki placed the sandwich in front of the two Pokémon, and he took his own and sat down at the desk, picking up a pen to fill in the rest of the day's bill.
Spring 198, January 6.
Income: Fish 3680
Spend: 0

After recording and dinner, Naoki threw himself on the bed with satisfaction.
